Benefits of technology

This patent describes a method for creating a non-toxic and solvent-free barrier on wood by using a stain / sealant composition. After curing, the solvent evaporates, leaving behind a micro-crystalline wax residue that can protect the wood. This results in a durable and effective barrier that helps to resist water damage and other environmental factors.

Problems solved by technology

However, such stains typically lack good abrasion resistance and good drying characteristics.
This effect is short lived, however, due to the fact that the oil base in these stains will dry and begin to crack due to heat, exposure and UV rays from the sun.
The end result is a stain and sealant that no longer can repel water as originally intended.

Embodiment Construction

[0019]The invention described herein and the various features and advantageous details thereof are explained more fully with reference to the non-limiting examples which are detailed in the following description. Descriptions of well-known components and processes and manufacturing techniques are omitted so as to not unnecessarily obscure the workings of the invention. The examples used herein are intended merely to facilitate an understanding of ways in which the invention herein may be practiced and to further enable those of skill in the art to practice the invention. Accordingly, the examples should not be construed as limiting the scope of the claimed invention.

[0020]The organic phase of the invention includes as one ingredient a hydrophobic component. The hydrophobic component is preferably a strong hydrophobe. Exemplary strong hydrophobes include waxes, such as petroleum waxes, natural waxes, synthetic waxes, or a combination of these. Exemplary petroleum waxes include slack ...

Abstract

A method is shown for treating a wood substrate which both stains and simultaneously seals. First a sealant composition is formulated by combining a commercially and industrially sold stain with a micro-crystalline pre-mixture, the micro-crystalline pre-mixture being comprised of a micro-crystalline wax in an organic solvent blend. Next, the wood substrate is contacted with the sealant composition and the solvent blend is allowed to flash away, leaving a substantially solvent free micro-crystalline wax residue barrier. The solvent blend can be a mixture of hexane and xylene but is not limited to these two particular solvents.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION1. Field of the Invention[0001]The present invention relates to compositions for use in staining and sealing wood, as well as to a method for applying such a composition to a wood substrate, and more particularly to a formula combining commercially and industrially market available stains with a special micro-crystalline pre-mixture.2. Description of the Prior Art[0002]Finishes which are useful on porous substrates such as wood, concrete, cement, brick and the like typically fall into two broad classifications: surface coatings and penetrating finishes. In most cases, surface coatings are characterized by having a very high molecular weight, by being highly crosslinked, and characteristically form a continuous film over the substrate. Varnishes and polyurethane clearcoats are typically classified as surface coatings.[0003]Penetrating finishes, in addition to protecting the substrate, typically change a substrate's color, yet retain the natural textural app...
